I did a good loop in the Hunter Valleyhttp://connect.garmin.com/activity/106311699The section from Cessnock through Wollombi to Broke was great riding and very picturesque.The main road through Pokolbin is the worst piece of road I've ever ridden. Cheers,Peter

That's some nice riding country thereabouts. If you wanted to multiday it, its a nice ride up the old Pacific Hwy from Hornsby, then down through Kulnurra and Bucketty to Wollombi.

There's lots of good riding in the Southern Highlands as well, particularly if you keep off the busier roads.

I've been toying with goulburn to lithgow, there's train access to both, back roads that go through or past lots of national parks, oberon sits roughly between the two towns...anyone ridden that area?

I rode Manly to Lithgow on the 1st of Jan

Was a great ride, I think it was around 190km. I just got the Train back to Central and rode home from there. But there are road works going on near Blue Mts so you take back road detours. All in all a great ride. If you ride it on a weekend, let me know, i'll tag a long

If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.

Berry area - fabulous climbs over into Kangaroo Valley, rural scenery, lovely town. Go up to the highlands and back down either Jamberoo or Macquarie Pass if you want to make more out of it, or alternatively up to Bowral and link into the near Southern Highlands. You could catch a train to Berry, ride to Bowral, and then keep riding to Sydney or any of the numerous train stops on the way.

Speaking of the near Southern Highlands, from Mittagong all the way to Penrith has lots of medium and smaller climbs, quiet roads, rural scenes. Avoid the freeways and Camden Valley Way. Most other roads are quiet and very attractive
